Marmoush, who joined Frankfurt from Wolfsburg in 2023, has been attracting the attention of plenty of clubs around Europe, with Spurs and Newcastle also said to have previously scouted the forward.
With an asking price of around £50million touted as the required fee for Marmoush, Liverpool are also in the process of looking for a new permanent boss, with Jurgen Klopp set to step down from his role as manager at the end of the season. Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi are the two leading candidates.
But according to a report from Bild, Liverpool have been given the best chance of landing him this summer, with his agent Michael Reschke talking up his client's potential beyond the Bundesliga.
“We have good plans for Marmoush," began the former Bayern Munich technical director recently. "Marmoush has been delivering outstanding performances recently and a bright future awaits him.

"He currently has a global market, so we don’t rule out receiving offers from all over the world.
“Marmoush is greatly loved within Eintracht Frankfurt, so offers are not only expected from within Germany but from all over Europe.
"This isn’t a strange matter, and we should all expect it because his performance, level, and name have become like gold currency and the energy he possesses on the pitch promotes him.
“He has a completely distinctive style, his eyes are sharp, and I cannot compare him to anyone else. He is a wonderful and special player.”
